New Reveal From Monolith Soft
We know that Monolith Soft has been heavily recruiting for a new Legend of Zelda project, which is most likely Breath of the Wild 2 revealed at E3.
However, the developer is undoubtedly working on something else due to the success of Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
It’s now been a full two years since the release of Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and over a year since the expansion, Torna.
While it’s unlikely that the developer would be near completion with a new game, it’d be a wise move to show fans they’re working on something new.
For example, we know Breath of the Wild 2 is a ways out from release, but Nintendo still used it as a hype-building announcement at E3. A new game from Monolith could do the same thing, and Nintendo has enough incoming games to afford a few long-off announcements.
While Bayonetta 3, Animal Crossing, Metroid Prime 4, and No More Heroes inch closer to release, Nintendo wants to make sure fans have a clear vision of the Switch’s future.
What better way to do that than show what one of Nintendo’s most ambitious developers is working on?
